A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind.
I turned around and saw Caleb walking to us with a long face.
He stood in front of me protectively and said to Harlan icily, âYouâre hurting her.
â
Calebâs POV: After settling Janiya down, I rushed to the police station.
However, as soon as I stepped foot inside the station, a policewoman told me, âYouâre Late.
A man just took Debra away.
â
âWhat? What did he look like?â I asked with a frown.
âHeâs tall and buff.
Short-tempered.
His name was Harlan.
He said that he was Debraâs boyfriend.
They just left.
â
The policewoman then told me the general make of the car they were driving.
When I got the description of the car, it suddenly occurred to me that I had seen this car on my way here just now.
I hurriedly left the station and got in my car, hoping to catch up to Harlan and Debra.
Fortunately, they werenât driving fast.
I caught up with them soon.
I followed them until they pulled to a stop in front of an apartment building.
Then, Debra and Harlan got out of the car; they seemed to be in the middle of an argument.
I got out of the car.
They were still quarreling, and I overheard the words, âfather,â âdaughter,â and âtool.
â I didnât understand what they were talking about, but when I saw that Harlan looked Like he was about to hurt Debra, I hurriedly stopped him without thinking.
âYouâre hurting her.
Let her go.
â I eyed Harlan icily.
Harlan was stunned for a moment.
Debra, on the other hand, turned as pale as a ghost when she saw me.
She pushed me away and muttered, âCaleb, this is between me and Harlan.
Please donât interfere.
â
Was it because Janiya had gone too far this time that Debra was afraid of me? When our eyes met, she Looked so scared.

I couldnât help but feel guilty.
Forcing a smile, I said, âDebra, can you give me ten minutes? I just want to talk.
I promise that Janiya wonât make more trouble for you.
â
Debra and Harlan exchanged glances and seemed to reach a silent agreement.
In the end, Harlan said nothing and walked straight into the apartment.
This just confirmed to me that Harlan definitely wasnât Debraâs mate.
Because no man would be able to tolerate his mate alone with another man, Let alone the man who had been flirting with her over the past few days.
When Harlan was out of earshot, Debra sneered and asked bitterly, âAre you here to take me back to the police station to avenge Janiya? Or do you want me to pay for the damages at the bridal shop?â
She looked at me angrily, as though she was accusing me of not believing her earlier.
But she had every right to be angry at me.
After all, I had taken Janiyaâs side earlier.
Although I believed Debra, I had no choice but to take Janiya to the hospital.
I still needed the help of her family after all.
âDebra, Iâm not here because of that.
â âThen what are you doing here? Did you want to see how embarrassed and ashamed I am?â Debra continued to sneer at me, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
